Nerve Conduction Studies and Electromyography (abbreviated as NCS/EMG), performed by two of our Neurologists, are useful to assess the function of a patient’s nerves and muscles. They are considered an ‘extension of the clinical examination’, and can be very helpful in localising exactly where a problem is within the nervous system. The neurologist uses small electrodes on the skin and small electrical impulses to assess nerve function and may proceed to place fine needles into the muscle to look further into nerve and muscle function if required.
